Chisinau Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)

#bucketlistreboot Ciuflea Monastery During Soviet times the Nativity Cathedral was used as an exhibition hall and hence the main church of Chisinau was moved to the Ciuflea Monastery. During that time it became a cathedral, following the independence from the Soviet Union it became once again a monastery. The monastery is a work of art. Blue like the sky with some really impressive architecture on the outside. The building on the inside has 1 main altar and 2 side ones which are beautifully crafted. It reminded us quite a lot of the Blue Church in Bratislava with similar nuances of blue and fairly vivid colours. Inside there are biblical depictions that showcase true craftmanship which make one loose themselves in these paintings. #moldova #chisinau

#bucketlistreboot The National History Museum Originally built as a lyceum, this then later became what it is today. The museum is structured into many scientific sections: Ancient History and Archaeology, Medieval History, History of Basarabia, Contemporary History, Treasures. The museum highlights artefacts that showcase a common heritage with Romania and the wider Romanian space as well as items from Soviet and Russian imperial rule. One thing we found very interesting is that whilst the objects are described i.e. this is a fountain pen, there aren’t any descriptions to explain the background behind those objects. So some background knowledge beforehand is needed to fully appreciate the museum and its artefacts. #moldova #chisinau

#bucketlistreboot You could say most attractions are conveniently situated mostly on the same boulevard which is “Stefan cel Mare si Sfant”. Stefan cel Mare Statue This is a statue commemorating the great leader the medieval Moldovan Principality had. It’s said that for every battle he won against the Turks, he would build a monastery. Hence he was stylised as “Saint” as well and was given sainthood. Nearby is also the park with the same name. We actually found the park, and all parks in Chisinau in all fairness to be a very nice place to have a stroll and observe the serene and calm ambiance. #chisinau #moldova
